Debbie McGee is a much-loved TV, radio and stage presenter and personality. Having trained at the Royal Ballet School, in the early part of her career Debbie performed as a dancer with The Second Generation, appearing with artists including ABBA and Chris de Burgh. In 1979 Debbie appeared as a dancer in The Paul Daniels Summer Show, going on to become Paul's assistant and appearing with him in the longest running TV magic show in the world: The Paul Daniels Magic Show for the BBC. They also toured the UK along with hugely successful seasons in London’s West End at The Savoy and The Prince of Wales Theatres. In 1991, Debbie was one of the first female magicians to become a member of The Magic Circle who later awarded her with The Maskelyne Award for outstanding services to British magic. Today she serves as their Honorary Vice President.
2026 marks Debbie's 50th year in showbusiness and sees the release of her much-anticipated autobiography, A Magical Life.
GREASE The Musical is directed by Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster, with choreography by Arlene Phillips and book, music and lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.
GREASE has designs by Colin Richmond, orchestrations and musical supervision by Sarah Travis, lighting design by Ben Cracknell, sound design by Tom Marshall and Richard Brooker and casting by David Grindrod CDG.
After a whirlwind summer romance, leather-clad greaser Danny and girl-next-door Sandy are unexpectedly reunited when she transfers to Rydell High for senior year. But can they survive the trials and tribulations of teenage life and find true love once more?
With its phenomenal score, bursting with hits including Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin’, Hopelessly Devoted to You and You’re the One That I Want, this thrilling new version is brought to life by a fresh young cast who bring energy, vitality and passion to this ultimate musical classic.
GREASE The Musical is produced by Colin Ingram for InTheatre Productions and Curve.
